Road Trip, Day 19

We decided to just hang out at our wonderful hotel and enjoy the gorgeous weather for a while.  I enquired about a place to do some laundry and was directed to a laundromat up on the mesa.  Drove up there and discovered it takes a lot of quarters to do laundry these days!  I probably haven't been in a laundromat for 40 some years.

Got my load of laundry in and determined it would take 30 minutes.  Went outside to see what I could see in the neighborhood.  A block down was a park with a gorgeous view of the Pacific.  I walked around a bit and enjoyed the view and then came back and put the clothes in the dryer.  Then went across the street to a healthy foods grocery store, purchased a salad for lunch, and sat on a bench in the sun and ate my lunch.  By then the clothes were dry.  Not a bad trip to the laundromat!

Went from there to the post office to acquire some postcard stamps for all the postcards we'd been writing.  Then came back to the hotel and relaxed on our patio and the lawn and visited some more.

Tonight we went for a last dinner at Emilio's Ristorante down the street.  Yummy food.  We had a great time.

Tomorrow my friends head back to Minnesota and Washington and I begin my return journey to Minneapolis.
